Transplant Nurse Resume
Organ transplant has provided a new lease of life to many with the advent in medical science. People in need of an organ can get it transplanted into their body through the body of living donors or the deceased donors. It is a complicated process and hence requires a good team work. While the transplantation is done by doctors, the staff members responsible for ensuring everything goes on smoothly are transplant nurses. These nurses watche closely the patients who are the recipient of the organs before, during, and post transplant. They provide patients with specialized care that enables them to lead a healthy and normal life after an organ transplant.
